His father was cooking an hour earlier than usual. Compared to his previous shoddy cooking, this time, it seemed like he was intentionally improving his cooking skills.
Is it because Auntie Ren told my dad to practice his cooking skills? The original words were "If you practice your cooking skills, I might ask you to cook a few more times. Sometimes when I'm busy with work and can't come home, I can ask her to come over for dinner".
The meaning behind his words was that he had made "practicing his culinary skills" a prerequisite for him to propose to her. So, in order to win the heart of the beauty, Dad was working hard in the kitchen and had decided to become the God of Cookery!
I looked into the pot — — My dad is actually challenging Dongpo pork! He's fighting a boss above his level! You actually dare to challenge Dongpo pork that many professional chefs can't even cook well with your cooking skills?
I've seen Loud Mouth's food blog before. She once wrote a special topic on Dongpo pork. She emphasized on the differences between Dongpo pork and braised pork. It solved my many years of doubts — — Loud Mouth is indeed a professional foodie, she even learned from eating.
Gourmet Loud Mouth wrote on her blog: Dongpo pork is braised in wine, while braised pork is braised in a small fire after stir-frying sugar. There are differences in both methods and ingredients. It's not correct for the old meatloaf store on the corner to confuse Dongpo pork and braised pork together.
In terms of taste, Dongpo pork is rich and juicy, it's crispy and easy to chew. It also emits a unique fragrance. Braised pork is fatty but not greasy, it melts in the mouth. The two look similar, but they are two different dishes. Even their cultural heritage is different.
There are many legends about Dongpo pork, one of the most interesting is:
When Su Dongpo was a provincial governor in Hangzhou, he did a lot of good things for the common people. In order to thank him, the common people would bring pork and wine to him during Chinese New Year.
Su Dongpo didn't want to accept gifts from the common people, but he felt that it would be a waste of their good intentions if he refused, so he temporarily accepted it. Then he ordered people to cut the pork into cubes, roast it with yellow wine until it was red, and deliver it to the common people's table.
Because of this, everyone praised Su Dongpo as a wise official and called the pork he delivered "Dongpo pork". The restaurants in Hangzhou also put up signs to publicly cook and sell "Dongpo pork" according to the main ingredients of "Pork + Yellow Wine". Su Dongpo probably didn't have a strong sense of copyright, so he didn't ask for an endorsement fee.
As a result, a certain imperial censor, who had the intention to frame Su Dongpo, discovered that every restaurant in Hangzhou had the dish "Dongpo Pork". As if he had found a treasure, he brought a thick stack of menus to the emperor and slandered him,
"Su Dongpo was corrupt and did all sorts of evil deeds in Hangzhou. The common people wanted to eat his meat! This' Dongpo pork 'is the best! "
The emperor was furious: "Dongpo pork". How can this be? Su Su Dongpo is removed from his position and investigated! Su Dongpo is transferred!
"Su Su Su is Is Ao Everyone, think about it. If Su Dongpo, as a provincial governor, really did all kinds of evil deeds, did the owner of the restaurant not want to live anymore or did he not want to live anymore? He actually dared to openly sell "Dongpo Pork"? Su Su Su was like in Korea when second Fatty Jin died and foreigners were not allowed on trains. During that time, if a Korean dared to laugh in public, he would be shot!
However, Su Dongpo was open-minded and listened to his father. Anyway, after Su Dongpo was sent to Lingnan, he didn't feel sorry for himself. Instead, he wrote the famous lychee poem: "Eating three hundred lychees a day makes one a Lingnan person."
After thinking about it carefully, Su Dongpo was also a foodie! No matter how far he was sent, it didn't matter as long as there was good food!
Su Dongpo, what happened to your thin scholar and elegant immortal image! It turned out that the ancient portraits in the textbooks were all lies! You must be a big fatty! You ate wherever you were sent, so you must have eaten until you became a big fatty!
When his father was bored, he specially researched this point. He found evidence from Yang Wanli's "Cheng Zhai Poetry" in the Song Dynasty. It proved that when Su Dongpo visited the brothels, he once sat on a bed and collapsed it. Therefore, he should be quite heavy.
After talking about Dongpo pork for so long, he only talked about one of the many legends of Dongpo pork. He shouldn't be biased. It was time to talk about braised pork.
The cultural heritage of braised pork was mainly Mao Zedong's favorite.
That's it.
That's why dad, you could have challenged any dish, but why did you challenge the culturally rich Dongpo pork! You might have even poured a whole bottle of yellow wine into the pot with a 'dong dong dong dong' sound! Now the smell of wine is drifting outside the house through the windows! If a passing pigeon fainted from the smell and fell to the ground, wouldn't that be a sin!
Damn! If you poured too much wine, then use sugar to neutralize it! Do you think you're doing a chemistry experiment! The smell coming from the kitchen inexplicably reminded me of tanghulu in the winter …
No! My dad doesn't have any talent in cooking. If he just blindly studies the recipes, he will definitely end up like a dog instead of a tiger. He will degenerate from "Apprentice Chef Level 1" to "Dark Chef Level 1". In the future, my dad's cooking will be even more difficult to swallow!
Right when I was worrying about this, I received a text message from the class leader. The content was a very normal greeting, but there was a hint of concern in the details:
"Are you okay? You have to eat less salt and sugar, or it'll be harmful to your heart. "
I suddenly had a bright idea and immediately called the class leader back. As soon as the class leader picked up, I asked impatiently:
"Class leader, can you come over to my house tomorrow and teach my dad how to cook?"
"Huh? You want me to teach Uncle Ye how to cook? "The class leader hesitated," Uncle Ye probably doesn't need me to teach … "
"Why not!" I looked at the thick smoke coming out of the kitchen, frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "My dad recently wanted to improve his cooking skills, but he went astray. His cooking is getting worse and worse, he even uses a lot of salt, sugar, and alcohol! Without anyone to teach him, I can only eat this kind of food in the future! "
"How, how can you use alcohol!" The class leader became anxious on the other side of the phone, "Patients with heart disease must abstain from alcohol! Uncle Ye shouldn't, he can't drink just because he likes to drink … "
The class leader was worrying too much. My heart disease is different from other people's. According to Dr. Yu's senior, drinking a bit of alcohol might have a positive effect, and it might even be completely cured.
But this is the result of a computer simulation that hasn't been validated in clinical trials, so I shouldn't tell the class leader yet. It won't be too late to tell her after I test it on mice.
"Is Uncle Ye really willing to learn from me?" The class leader's tone softened when she heard my dad's cooking wasn't healthy, "If he doesn't think it's embarrassing to let his son's classmate teach him, then I can come over tomorrow morning. Xiao Zhe will be going out again tomorrow, so he won't be eating lunch at home …"
Don't worry, my dad has already been reprimanded by you twice for legitimate reasons! How can he still act like a dignified elder!
Also, Shu Zhe hasn't been home lately, so his whereabouts are suspicious! Could it be that Uncle Fireball had bought him another expensive gift and was trying to lure his nephew to his anus? Other than Uncle Fireball, Fan Chuan and Xiao Ding are also eyeing Shu Zhe!
However, I am already powerless to stop Shu Zhe, whose body and mind have completely turned into a trap. As' Little Red ', she has Fan Chuan and Little Ding to protect her, Uncle Fireball to take care of her, and even the peaked cap Tang Jiang who doesn't know the truth might interfere.
I can only take it one step at a time. I should focus on comforting the class leader who feels disappointed because her brother is always missing.
"Class leader, don't worry and come! My dad would be overjoyed if you came to teach him cooking, so there's no way he wouldn't agree! Tell me what ingredients you need! I'll go to the market and buy them for you! "
"Ye Lin, your body isn't good, so don't work. I'll buy the ingredients myself when I come over."
I don't know why the class leader paused for a bit, then she asked as if she was a bit embarrassed: "Does Uncle Ye like anything other than alcohol?"
Huh? What's the point of the class leader asking this? Is she planning to buy a greeting gift for my dad when she comes over! Didn't we already meet! Didn't we already have an in-depth conversation that touched on the soul?
Wait a minute! If I think about it, the class leader has never been to my house before! Although I've been to her house many times, she's never been to my house. The last time she 'visited' my dad was at a hotel, so tomorrow will be her first time!
Since it's her first time, she has to be careful and have proper etiquette! Why does it feel like you're in a relationship, then you're going to meet the other party's parents!
You were the one who deleted the confession message! Are you still trying to leave a good first impression on my dad? It's too late! The first time, you scolded my dad for letting his son manage an adult goods store. The second time, you scolded my dad for not knowing what's important and wanting to go to the barren hills overnight to cause trouble for the search team …
You've already scolded the other party's parents twice! Do you think you can change my dad's first impression of you by bringing a bag of oranges! In my dad's mind, 'your little class leader loves to teach and scold people' has already become a fixed line of thought!
"Don't bring any greeting gifts!" I quickly told the class leader, "It's already a huge favor that you're teaching my dad how to cook, Auntie Ren will thank you in the future."
"That's true." The class leader did not agree to not bring gifts, but she followed along with Auntie Ren's topic, "Xiao Qin's mom works late every day, so someone should cook for her. Uncle Ye was right to learn how to cook …"
I suddenly remembered the class leader's future ambition was to become a criminal police officer, so her workload was no less than Auntie Ren's, so I said:
"Class leader, when you become a criminal police officer, would you also be so busy that you wouldn't have time to cook, so you should also find a husband who knows how to cook?"
Since I was a patient, the class leader did not get angry at my joke, she only calmly replied:
"You don't have to worry about that, I'll be at your house at 10 o 'clock sharp tomorrow. If you're curious, you can also watch from the side when Uncle Ye learns to cook …"
"Wait!" I caught onto the loophole in the class leader's words, "So you want me to learn as well? If my cooking skills improve, it'll be good for you in the future, right? "
"What, what are you talking about!" The class leader rebuked me, then her tone became a bit sad.
"Your heart isn't good, so you don't have to learn, just wait for dinner …"
